On: I only lost 10 minutes of data, thanks to ZFS

Ubuntu ships with ZFS support, as well as TrueNAS.

I personally run my nas with Ubuntu and ZFS and love it.

Apparently, recent releases of Ubuntu have dropped ZFS filesystem support after the person driving that effort left. :/

Reading up on it, recent releases of Ubuntu have dropped using ZFS for your boot and root volumes, which isn't ideal, however, they still support ZFS for any other volumes, which I'd venture is it's primary usage anyway, and they don't plan on removing support for anything other then zsys/zfs root/zfs boot.

But thanks for bringing this to my attention. I had missed the changes in 23.04.

There's been a recent series of PRs which appear to be adding ZFS root support to subiquity, the new Ubuntu installer:

Cool, hopefully that means it's being kept as an option after all. :)

Ditto!
